Attesting Italy’s love for Pakistan’s magnificent mountains, Agostino said, “The Karakorum mountain range including the Baltoro have all the superlative features that make us love the giant mountains. The features include size, strength, verticality, harmony, shape, colour, and light, to the unique majesty of K2.” Pakistan is home to many high peaks which attract a huge attention from foreigners cherish but remain overlooked by the locals. Samina Baig, the first Pakistani woman to scale Mount Everest, reminded that unfortunately, there were no opportunities for the youth to explore the snow covered habitats on glaciers and peaks. “Foreigners come to scale the summits on our lands but unfortunately we have no chance to explore our own mountains. So, we have to depend on the foreign friends.”
